The Academy promotes excellence and aspiration in everything its pupils do. The Academy uniform is designed to reinforce this spirit of excellence. It is smart and practical, encourages pupils to take pride in being part of the Academy and enables them to act as ambassadors for The Valley educational experience. The uniform is also designed to portray a professional and business-like image.

High standards of presentation are required at all times when wearing the Academy uniform, with clean clothes, tidy hair and no jewellery (except where agreed on grounds of faith). Whenever the Academy uniform is worn, it must be complete and not mixed with non-uniform clothing. This includes when travelling to and from the Academy.
